Liberal DemTards Spending $100 Gs a Person In Seattle & Homeless Epidemic Worse Than Ever

[Cellblock2429]

In the same vein of the most Wasteful Social Programs in History, "The War on Poverty" where Democrats spent $23 Trillion Dollars, and only enriched themselves and their friends, Seattle Leadership, as Clueless as they are, have Invested in Their Feelings and are dropping $100,000 a person on The Homeless and this issue is worse than ever.

Makes one wonder how much The Left would abuse taxpayers with The Green New Scam, Guaranteed Income, Free Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants, Free College, and Medicare for All.

Seattle residents blame inefficient elected officials for homeless problem, say they've 'lost faith' in system

SEATTLE -- The richest man in America calls Seattle home. So do thousands of others who are forced onto the streets because they are too poor, too addicted or too detached from reality. At night, the city's homeless sleep wherever they can -- in tents crammed in parking garages, in parks or under highway overpasses. Some feel victimized by a society that has moved on without them. Others feel preyed upon by politicians eager to push pet projects and scattered initiatives that make themselves look good but do little else. Sick of stepping over used condoms, broken lighters and needles, residents say they are heartbroken to see the city they've loved turn into a dangerous, drug-infested den of filth and human misery.

Like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland, Ore., Seattle's homeless crisis didn't happen overnight. Little by little, the city has succumbed to skyrocketing housing prices, rampant drug use and progressive policies that have made it easy for people to openly feed their addictions and commit crimes and that have made it hard for the mentally ill to get treatment.

The letter was in response to a homeless man storming the church and smashing a 200-year-old wood carving of Mary with a large rock. There was another incident in which a homeless man walked into the crowded church, appeared to have a violent fit and broke a 15-foot bronze crucifix. The church's Seat of Wisdom statue in its courtyard also has been damaged. Things have deteriorated to the point that St. James now has a uniformed officer present during all weekend Masses.

In Seattle, arguably the country's most liberal city, homelessness remains one of the most divisive topics. Over the past five years, the city has seen an explosion in homelessness, crime, substance abuse and addiction. Residents say they struggle to balance compassion with growing resentment.

In all, the city spends $1 billion a year fighting homelessness. That's $100,000 for every homeless man, woman and child in King County and yet the needle has mostly been moving in the wrong direction. Residents say there is a deep disconnect between them and those in charge and say elected officials are tone-deaf and offer up simple solutions to a complex problem.

During an explosive Ballard Town Hall meeting in 2018, the crowd turned on City Council members Mike O'Brien, Teresa Mosqueda, Lorena Gonzalez and Lisa Herbold after O'Brien told a woman who was complaining about the increase in crime to "call 9-1-1."

The crowd erupted and the woman tore into O'Brien's response.

"You've lost all credibility when you say those two words -- call 9-1-1," she said. "Do you understand that the police have told us to vote you all out so that they can do their jobs... and you're telling us to call 9-1-1?"

Citizens should bring back the jolly practice of tarring and feathering. Maybe then the Left would find the beginnings of enlightenment.

/——/ Use tar from Anwar and feathers from an endangered bird.

I wonder if Democrats flooding their states and cities with needy homeless foreign nationals contributes to the overall homeless problem?

Most of the homeless in Portland were predominately white. We as a country need to take care of our current citizens before we add more.

Was in Portland last week, it was once one of the cleanest towns in America. Today, it is filth. Begging for money, walking in the middle of the streets blocking traffic, sleeping bags, tents, garbage, the smell of pot and urine. Being homeless is one thing, not taking pride in yourself, or the area you live in, is quite the other.

I am not sure of the solution but their let them "run the city" is a failed policy that needs to change. The city needs to protect all their citizens not just certain citizens.

I was in California recently, homeless panhandling, trash, filthy tent city under an overpass.

Not a good look for a town that is trying to entice tourists and businesses.

Not sure as only some sort of census taken of the group's make up, would then reveal the make up of these group's.

Whites and blacks dominate the homeless. Likely half or more are addicts. Some are just down on their luck, and will escape.


The ones begging on street corners, they won't stop until the public stops giving to them. Some of those should just be shot.

One Billion a YEAR Seattle Residents are being Forced to FORK UP and take care of The HOMELESS, and THE HOMELESS do not have homes?

At $100,000 a year spent on Each Homeless Person, I have to ask, WHERE IN THE HELL IS THIS MONEY GOING TO?

The answer is mental health facilities with living quarters. It is the only solution. Jobs, jobs, jobs right ? Everybody wins including the patients.

I have heard many stories of homeless people that given the tools turned their life around and become productive citizens. One guy went from homeless to owning four furniture stores in our town. He has been clean and sober for about a decade and is doing well.

We just need to treat the illness, or issue instead of allowing the behavior to do whatever the hell they want.

San Francisco just lost a $40 million dollar medical convention that's been held there for decades. Event organizers cited San Francisco is no longer safe or clean.

That plus the health of the town is gauged by it all as well. No one wants to be around filth and danger anywhere they go. The individuals in these groups need to be evaluated by professional's, and then placed into the care facilities that would be designated for these individuals that are among the various group's. The time is now.

The same goes for the global warming, the green new deal, the over burdensome regulations, and every other trick in the book they can use.

Homeless People and Illegal Aliens are just tools used by The Left to beg for an unfair share of Federal Tax Dollars.

Government is greedy, the more you give them, the more they want from you.

 

[The Original Tree]

Open Borders and Registering Illegals to Vote, giving them Drivers Licenses and Access To Social Safety Net programs meant for Citizens, and Keeping Demographics Numbers of such people out of the Census is just another way to defraud voters in other states from getting their fair amount of representation in Congress, and fair amount of Federal Tax Dollars.

California is losing more citizens than ever, but they are replacing them with illegals. And they do this in ARROGANCE refusing to admit their Liberal Policies Ruin Lives and Businesses.

Instead of corrective actions, they double down on stupid, and replace taxpaying citizens with illegal Parasitic Aliens, just so they can hold on to more Congressional Seats that they don't really deserve anyways.

Don't assume all foreign nationals who come and go unchecked and unregulated at will, are a certain color.

The needy homeless foreign nationals who come and go unchecked and unregulated at will, got to be living somewhere...

I was doing some production upgrades for one of these "jobs program" companies. Millions went to their rich friends in on end and a handful of minimum wage jobs came out the other.

This is how politicians who quit their jobs as bartenders and become elected to Congress become Millionaires almost over night.

At $100,000 a year per homeless person, you could build them a house and pay it off entirely.

This is what Socialism looks like. It is nothing but raiding our Treasury and Plundering The Wealth of The American People.
